Most of those businesses are unrelated to defense, e.g., industrial turbine and turbocharger rotors, and the medical one. I don't know how the cash flow and other particulars break out among these operations and the rest of Doncasters. Doncasters is an international operation, and as noted in my previous, it is possible in principle to part out the company.
The Doncasters website is pretty informative - at least as a place to start fact gathering.
I suspect there are some unintended consequences if "we" aim to consign foreign (UAE/Arab/Chinese/Russian/etc.) investment to only service and entertainment sectors.
plenty of US auto companies looking for investments. hey, the market for small private jets is BOOMING in the US - maybe the UAE could buy something there. lots of tech companies looking for new investors too. let the UAE buy TIVO, I could care less. they could also take minority stakes in a whole host of public companies. I could go on and on.
when lined up side by side, the list of things they COULD BUY without question is far longer then the list of things that will raise eyebrows. yet, they keeping coming at us on the short list.
